Mind you that its the money that is going to Modernize the Turkish Armed Forces, which means the defence budget would be extra. Make me wise if I am wrong.
Thats only about 10% of the projected 2008 GDP. Maybe 5-10yrs is realistic. Depends on what other programs they want to build in the defense budget It won't take 40 yrs.
